I think that's uncalled for, personally. If I were his family and I saw fans saying things like that, then regardless of my own love for USC, I would be glad he wasn't coming here.

^Would happen at any school. This normally wouldn't matter so much to gamecock fans except the fact that he is, hold on let me outline this for you:

-a high 4*
-at a position of our highest need (LB)
-was one of our most solid commitments, no one saw this coming
-had Gamecock roots
-committed to play for one of our biggest rivals/competition IN OUR DIVISION.

Gamecock fans have a right to be pissed over this. No need to hurl insults at the guy but we dropped the ball on this one. Feels a little bit like the GG situation. Not to mention this is the second decommitment in a row of a high calibur recruit at a position of need to an East rival.

I hope he has a speedy recovery and everything goes well for him in that facet. But so far as his playing days, I hope he is buried in the depth chart and never plays a down. I don't care who you are or how old are. 18 isn't the new 12. I was raised that once you make a commitment, you honor it. Especially after all out staff and doctors have done for him.

I get it, I really, really do, because I'm upset about it too. But that doesn't mean I suddenly hope the young man doesn't succeed (with the obvious exception of when he faces us; in which case I hope he gets trucked, burned, whatever else).

Well over the last two years we haven't had a single decommitment and picked up some quality guys like Moody, Davis, and Clowney real late. The coaches might have gotten complacent but I think that these two might have been mostly out of their hands.
